Redefining Success as Black Women: Pressure, Burnout & Finding Your Freedom


Listen Later

In this week’s episode, we unpack what success really looks like for Black women and how often it comes with invisible pressure, perfectionism, and the constant need to overachieve. From corporate America to childhood expectations, we reflect on the moments that shaped our hustle, the burnout that followed, and the healing work it took to redefine success on our own terms. We also talk about comparison culture, guilt around resting, breaking the cycle of grind mentality, and why freedom financial, emotional, and mental is becoming our new definition of “making it.” If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough, even when you’re doing the absolute most… this episode is for you. This week’s Mantra Moment: “My success doesn't have to be loud to be real. My peace, my purpose, and my joy are proof enough.” A reminder that your wins don’t need an audience to matter.
